Storm Catcher²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: J Mitchell| T: S Pearce| OR: 80| CD

8/11

Arrives here in fine form, successful here in December prior to dead-heating over C&D 4 weeks ago, keeping on well to share the spoils. 3 lb higher now but he's a player in present groove in bid to land the hat-trick.

Form: 200/51-1

STORM CATCHER has been in resurgent form on all-weather this winter, overcoming a pace bias when dead-heating over C&D 4 weeks ago. He shades the vote to defy a 3 lb higher mark, with Rosa del Rio, following her second at Newcastle recently, feared most equipped with a first-time visor.
